Will this minimum runtime environment work on Windows, too?
I'd like to try that out.
I see no reason why this would not work. The only thing that is
needed is a working cross compiler.
I have not heard of gdc cross compilers for windows and I do not
have time and interest to play with that. This question has been
asked several times so I think there is interest for this. If
someone wants to try, there are several options:
- The compiler can made step by step. The instructions are here:
http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Cross%20Compiler
- Use the native windows version and make it a cross compiler. I
would like to hear a comment from mingw people if this is
possible.
- There are full cross tools chains that use gcc like this:
https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
Gdc could be added to gcc there.
As long as gdc is not part of gcc, there will not be any
ready-to-use D toolchain. If there is any success, I would like
to hear it
